| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Extraction | separates dissolved substances based on solubility in aqueous versus organic solvents; immicible liquids |
| Filtration | separates solids from liquids |
| Recrystallization | separates solids based on differential solubility; temp is impt cuz it should dissolve what we want with heat and solidify it with cool air but keep solvent dissolved at both temps |
| Sublimation | solid to gas; separates solids |
| centrifugation | separates large things based on mass and density |
| distillation | separating liquids based on bp |
| chromatography | stationary phase, mobile phase; separates compounds based on how tightly they adhere |
| electrophoresis | separates macromolecules based on size and sometimes charge |
| Isoelectric Focusing | separates proteins based on charge |
